They Hear You. An Encouragement

A beautiful photo of the love between mama and progeny

The director of Cities4Life, Daniel, and I will be presenting at a conference run by Love-life Charlotte in a couple of weeks. We will
be doing a “breakout session” about sidewalk counseling in front of the abortion clinic. I asked if one of the women I work with who chose life over abortion could be there…and we could “interview” her. He liked that
idea, so I asked a woman who I have now followed almost three years. (Her
daughter is two-years-old now.)

I sent the list of questions to the woman so she could think about her responses,
and asked if there were any others she thought we should ask. She said yes,
there was one. That question: do you think the continual pleading to the
women at the abortion center is harassment?

Well. I was grieved as I read this. I
wrote to her, and said it was a good question…how would she answer it? I also wrote
to Daniel and said the only skill I have is PERSISTENCE….what if it is
perceived as harassment? He had a great response, and wrote back that if he was a baby in the
womb about to be killed, he would want someone to be persistent in speaking on
the baby’s behalf. Then I received the woman’s response to her own question. Here it
is:

Please! Please! The persistence is very
much needed., in my case. I heard them while walking in, walking beside me, giving
me scriptures, and even while I was inside, their voices resonated even deeper
within my soul. You may feel like you are not getting through to the women or
men but we hear you, we hear you, we hear you! In my case I didn't make the
decision until I was inside and the scriptures and smiles I had seen outside along
with the continued voices while I was inside touched my heart and I chose life!
So please don't get discouraged if you feel they aren't listening ... we hear
you!

All you who labor on the front-lines of the pro-life movement: take heart. Be encouraged. They hear you. Not all will act upon the truths you speak, but they hear you.
